L-CAT Sea to shore connector

CNIM’s
landing catamaran L-CAT is a rapid and innovative amphibious craft compliant
with all NATO well decks. Thanks to its large autonomy, it is the ideal
sea base connector for modern “over the horizon” amphibious
operations.

Four L-CAT are currently in service within the French Navy. In 2012,
it performed conclusive trials with US Navy vessels during Bold Alligator
exercise.

L-CAT is intended for landing an infantry platoon, vehicles and equipment
from any modern LPD/LHD. With itsfore and aft ramps, L-CAT is a full
Ro-Ro vessel allowing door to door operations and loading/unloading
from any existing slipway or quay.
